We rely completely on libtool to handle the creation of dynamic
libraries.  The failures on 64bit platforms are due to lacking support
in the used libtool version (1.5.6), I think -- does a newer
(reliable) version of libtool already exist to which I could upgrade?

The problem with the DEC Alpha 4100-5/466 machine looks different.
Here is the failing compilation command (shortened):

  ./builds/unix/libtool \
    --mode=compile c89  \
    <compilation flags> \
    -o /ftsystem.lo builds/unix/ftsystem.c
       ^

At the marked place a proper path is missing
(/export/home/.../freetype2-current/objs/).  I don't think this is a
problem with the makefiles of FreeType; I rather think that the used
version of GNU make on this particular host is buggy.
